“And his fiance found out later and wanted to file a case for you but you trick her. You told her that you will give your child just to make her shut up. You also mocked her for being sterile, don’t you? You also asked her for money as payment for your child’s custody!” Those accusations were all a mistake. She was framed by them.
She narrowed her eyes at officer Ronan.
“It’s not true. Why won’t you hear me! I’m not a theft. Yes, I fall in love with someone’s husband but I didn’t intend to hurt them. I was the one who got framed! It’s all their fault!” She fights back but no one wanted to listen to her.
Their gaze at her wasn’t respectful. She saw herself as a stripper girl in front of them.
Yes, what she did was indeed wrong but they talk about it before they left and she promised Kent not to make any scandal especially when his name will be on media and his family. She obeyed what he told her. She kkeeps her mouth shut even she was been fooled again by that fake contract but why are things becoming complicated now?
“Sorry, Miss Mason but my interview ends here. Put her inside the cell. If you have proof that you’re innocent, we will let you go, and if an attorney came to help you!” He added and Lucy screams in the police station until her throat hurts.
“I’ll clean my name, Kent. Just wait.” She whispered inside her cell.
—
” So is my plan works? Make sure to locked her there forever!” Eloisa set a wicked smile after calling officer Ronan.
After the interrogation, they decided to put Lucy inside the cell.
After five minutes…
“Miss Mason you have a visitor!” one of the officers knocks on the cell bars and called her.
She stays at the station for twenty-four hours already. She didn’t eat anything since yesterday and today. They prepared food for her but she didn’t touch anything. She lost her appetite since they arrested her like a murderer.
They opened the cell door and escorted Lucy to the visitor’s room. She saw Gregory sitting with an attorney. She felt relieved that Gregory came to help her.
She quickly walked closer and told him what happened.
“Please help me! Call Kent right now to dismiss the case or else I’ll be sent to correctional jail in Muntinlupa. I was framed and you know that?” She holds Gregory’s hands.
He didn’t respond. He didn’t make eye contact with her. Lucy stops and she gently take-off her hands from his arms. He looks like he didn’t notice her.
Gregory took a deep sigh. His eyebrows met together while glaring at her.
“I had no idea that you’re that pathetic when it comes to money! I came here to help you to reduce your sentence and nothing more.” He informed her with his cold gaze.
She started to lose her hope.
“Hi, Miss Mason, I’m Attorney Lim and I check your case, they filed you three complaints and a Larceny case so without any proof that you’re innocent, you will stay here after five years. ” she feels like heaven punished her.
This can’t be happening. She can’t be in jail for five years. She needs to get back her baby. She wanted to take revenge for what they did to her. She will haunt them everywhere. They can’t be happy forever. Time will come, the world will be fair to her.
She kneeled in front of Gregory. She begs for him.
“Please don’t let me stay here. I want to see my son! Please call Kent or Eloisa that I want to see my son. I’m willing to accept my sentence but before I served the jail, call them. Please!!!” She almost fainted with her excessive crying.
Gregory stood up and didn’t bother to turn his back at her.
“Come back here. Please! Gregory, I beg you!” Lucy crouched down wiping her tears on her face and she throws all the chairs and tables in the visitor’s area.
“Fuck all of you! I won’t forgive all of you! Ahhh!!” Her anger flies in a rage that she couldn’t control her feelings.
She tightly bit her lips until blood came out of her mouth. Maniacal laughter filled the room. Lucy is acting like a madwoman. She laughs alone and shouted about cursing and killing. The police heard it. They came closer and restrain her by holding her arms and pulled her back to her cell.
“Let me go! Who paid you! I didn’t steal anything! Why can’t you listen to me!” She calls their attention but no one answered her.
She went to the corner and curled her body like a ball. She hid her face on her toes and let out a soft whimper. She became quiet like mute while her eyes looked up at the ceiling.
“Don’t worky baby Austin, mommy is okay.” She murmured and let out loud laughter again.
All of them treated her like crazy after that incident.
